Design Kepler Drive Bridge Replacement. Question Deadline 05/01/2024 at 5:00 PM AKT. The Kepler Drive Bridge is located near milepost 37 of the Glenn Highway south of Palmer, Alaska, within Road Service Area 16 (South Colony) and serves public and private property, including a campground for recreational vehicles. The bridge is in poor condition, and the foundation is believed to be settling due to the construction of the bridge's spread footings on compressible soils. As a result, the bridge causes vehicles to "bottom out" and recreational boats crossing below the bridge have insufficient clearance to travel safely between lakes. The intent of this project is to remove the 20+ year-old timber bridge and replace it with a large-diameter arch-pipe, box culvert, or similar structure.

The right is reserved to reject any or all proposals and to waive any informalities.
